Mysterious fairy circles are increasing across the world and scientists are baffled

[Grim Reaper 6]

A natural phenomenon consisting of polka-dot-style formations has been cropping up around the world, and scientists are baffled as to why. The circular-shaped patches of ground have been seen in deserts in Australia and Namibia but now experts believe they are more widespread than originally thought. Known as “fairy circles”, there are now 263 known sites across the globe where they can be found, according to new research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

They have been documented in 15 countries, across three continents, including the Sahel region of Africa, Madagascar, and in Middle-West Asia. And yet, despite the spread of these anomalies, scientists are still none the wiser about how they actually form.

I'm confused about what's  so confusing about them. Fairie circles are just mycelium growths aren't they? Had one in my yard once. Clearly had a mushroom stage. There was more rain this year.

Well, according to the scientific community what forms them at this point in time is unknown. Until recently they were thought to be mainly restricted to Australia and remote parts of Africa. But now it has been discovered that they are a global phenomenon, and the scientific community is concerned they because of risks they could pose to agriculture.

263 locations where they exist and yet, no one can figure out what they are? - unless you believe in fairies

Can you solve the mystery by telling us what makes them and how they are made?
